Social events

At Digital Collegium, community is at the heart of everything we do — and that doesn’t stop when the sessions end. Our lineup of social events is designed to help you connect with fellow attendees, speakers and volunteers in fun and meaningful ways.

Whether you’re looking to expand your network, recharge after a full day of learning or simply share a laugh with people who get it, these events are for you.

Sunday, Oct. 18

Round tables with white linens, navy blue napkins, and floral centerpieces are spread across a patterned carpet. Large floor-to-ceiling windows offer a night view of the city, including a distant illuminated holiday tree, framed by tall gold curtains and warm indoor lighting.

Welcome reception

Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown

Kick off your Digital Collegium 2026 experience at our welcome reception, hosted at the conference hotel, the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown. This relaxed gathering is the perfect way to connect with fellow attendees, presenters and volunteers from the start.

Whether you’re meeting new people or catching up with familiar faces, the welcome reception is all about bringing this community together. Enjoy light bites, refreshments and plenty of great conversation as you start making connections that carry through the rest of the conference.

More details, including timing and specific location within the hotel, will be shared soon.
